[QUOTE="dougduey, post: 2249474, member: 33159"] Hammer bullets really like more neck tension, that’s why the Lee FCD works really well with them. Read ButterBean’s thread on why he crimps and uses the FCD. We are finding that magnum primers don’t always need to be used, especially when you get into some of the smaller cartridges. I recently compared the BR2’s to my 215M loads in the 280AI with the 140 Absolute. Velocities were virtually the same and both equally accurate. I switched mainly due to the fact that I have a ton of BR2 and I’m getting low on 215M that I use in a lot of cartridges. Some have found that the standard large rifle primers have better ES/SD and don’t pressure out as quickly as the magnum primers do. [/QUOTE]
